Psychologist, PhD Clinical Psychology, Masters in Marriage Family Therapy
We are fundamentally spiritual beings. When we become divorced from this reality we are exiled from our essence. Spiritual bankruptcy is the basis for most of our suffering in this incarnation. A reclamation of who we truly are provides the remedy and pathway towards a more joyful, compassion filled life.
When clients come to me, they are experts on their problems. My job is to help them identify and work toward the solutions. My clients become experts on what they can do to enjoy life more. I feel privileged to be part of a process that empowers people to transform their lives for the better.
Having a healthy sprit man is just as important as being healthy mentally and physically. Sometimes people find themselves being stagnant spiritually. Stagnancy can cause frustration, confusion and a feeling of a sense of bondage. Freedom can come through realizing God’s plan for your life.
My own life has been a journey that includes learning about and moving through a variety of religious thoughts, in addition to exploring conversations around the perceived differences between spirituality and religion. When clients express a desire to rely on and use their own beliefs in therapy, I welcome what they bring to the session room. In some cases, I may guide clients through their own exploration toward finding their own meanings in virtually any realm. In short, I am completely open to all spiritual concepts for clients' expressed benefits.
